€700-800 PC Build?

mulciber

I'm going to be building my first PC and I have a budget of €700-800.

I'll be primarily using the PC for coding (I'm in 6th year and I'm planning on doing computer science in college) and for a bit of gaming also.

Could somebody help me out please? I just need a few ideas and I'll tweak them myself to what will be the best build for me.

You can code on a very basic pc just fine. So just concentrate on getting a good gaming build, you don't really have to take anything into consideration for coding.

That looks awesome. Would the SSD be for my OS? And is that a reputable site to buy from?

tuxy

Yes the ssd is for the os and application that you use often.
That site has the best prices I can find. Hundreds of people here including myself have used them with out a problem.
The only thing about hardwareversand is they do not take standard credit card payment, the best way to pay them is international bank transfer. It's easy to do and we can help you if you're unsure about anything.
They do take paypal also but that add 3% to the total cost.

I think they do take credit cards now. But yeah, I can attest to the fact that they're a fantastic site.

Maybe German credit cards, I've not heard of anyone on here using that method of payment.

I used it on Tuesday, definitely works.

That's good to hear

Awesome. Thanks for the advice! I'll have a look over the build and I'll post here if I plan on making any changes.
